I told you I'd get you something up this week, & here it is. Basic & short. Easy enough to digest, I would think, for a first installment.

Basic Intro:
Alright. So. This place… It's all really quite the confusing & convoluted story… But I’ll try to make it make as much sense as I can.
First of all, there's this fantasy world. A world which I have not named as of yet. In this world, there are two main kingdoms (& not to mention a bunch of different races & stuff). Kinborough, the 'good' kingdom. & Cyneburge, the 'bad' kingdom. The king of Kinborough is, well, old & sickly. So not so long ago his sons, Everest & Tristen, pretty much took over for him (by the King’s will, of course). The current king of Cyneburge is Theocritus Archelaus Cyneburge.
There are still other smaller & less powerful kingdoms left. & both Kinborough & Cyneburge used to be trying to gain sovereignty over them. Cyneburge more so in a forceful way. Just barging into the country with their army of soldiers in tow, & they’d fight the smaller country until they gave up or until they had taken the throne by force. Kinborough’s king, in fear of Cyneburge’s growing land (& thus army, & thus power), joined his country in its fair share of sovereignty battles. But whereas Cyneburge’s tactics were forceful, Kinborough’s were more persuasive. Using the lure of protection to the smaller countries as a means to gain more land.
Not too long ago (about a decade), however, Cyneburge’s old king had ‘vanished’ & Theocritus had taken throne, immediately pulling his kingdom’s armies out of all of the countries it had been invading. This confused & surprised many, & specifically put the country Garoh into chaos because it had just been in the middle of being forcefully taken over by Cyneburge. So, it was in shambles. Theocritus makes out to be different from the previous king & that he doesn’t want to have his armies go barging out into the world & try to take over the remaining countries. Not many believe him. But no one can really do anything about it.
Ten years of relative ‘peace’ have passed since Theocritus has taken throne, & that’s where the story will start. I’m not really sure what the basic premise of this story is going to be… I know of a few things I want to happen, & I know what it is Theo is planning (I’m not going to tell you because I don’t want to give it away), but I’m not sure what’s going to start it or how it’s going to happen or what the end is going to be… So, that’s more to be planned upon.

That's all for now. I'll tell you more later. About the spirits & magic & the races. The elements of the map that I have (pretty crappily) figured out myself. The other countries. The characters. The many many characters (that really will probably end up changing alot as time goes on)... Of course all of this will be one at a time, so as to avoid drowning you. =]
